                                              ISMAIL HANIYEH KILLED IN TEHRAN Very hard blow for the political branch of Hamas. The head of this organization Ismal Haniyeh, who lived under protection in Qatar, was assassinated this morning in Tehran, without the details of this assassination being known for now. His presence in Iran was due to participate in a ceremony for the new president of the Islamic state, Masoud Pezeshkian. Israel has killed a large number of Hamas leaders, outside and inside Gaza. Haniyeh's wife and son were murdered months ago while leaving the refugee camp where he was staying. Hamas knew pertinently that the government it presides, Benjamin Netanyahu, is characterized by the constant search for the location of his “enemies”, using all the resources of the Mossad and other secret services. Despite this, Haniyeh had traveled to Cairo and Tehran sev...

                              ERDOGAN CONDEMNS AGAIN THE GENOCIDE IN GAZA The President of Turkey, Recip Erdogan, once again strongly condemned Israel for the genocide and war crimes in Gaza, which have already claimed the lives of 49,000 Palestinians. The Ottoman leader is one of the main defenders of the Palestinian cause. The novelty of this last statement lies in the fact that Erdogan stated last Sunday that his country could enter Israel, as he already did in Libya and Nagorno-Karabakh. This should not be taken as a threat, but as a serious warning to the government of the Jewish country that the world can no longer tolerate so many massacres in Gaza, apart from the fact that Israel ignores all the international resolutions that condemn it. Israel has responded to Erdogan with a statement from its Foreign Minister, Israel Katz, in which he appeals to NATO to expel Turkey, which is one of its most relevant m...

                                          KAMALA HARRIS, AN UNCERTAIN SURPRISE There are 100 days left until the presidential elections in the United States. Donald Trump, for the Republicans, and Kamala Harris, for the Democrats, face each other on the premise that there has never been a woman at the head of the White House. If this happens, it will be a big surprise, because Trump seems to be the one in the best position. Harris has changed her speech; she has become less pro-Palestine in order to get closer to Israel; she demonstrated this during the interview with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In reality, in the United States, a position of strong criticism of the Hebrew state has no way out. Washington is Israel's sponsor and will remain so. That said, Trump's re-election is the worst misfortune that could happen, because the billionaire is in the hands of Israel. He demons...

                                     TRUMP ASKS NETANYAHU TO END WAR IN GAZA. In the interview held today at Mar-A-Lago, the private residence of former American President Donald Trump, he asked Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu “to end the war in Gaza” according to official reports. It seems incredible that Trump demands anything from Netanyahu, since he was almost at the orders of the Jewish leader, during the four years of his residence, which can be repeated if he wins the presidential elections next November. Trump granted Netanyahu everything he wanted, so this last sentence could belong to the realm of propaganda, to appear in the media. Does Trump intend to put pressure on his Jewish guest? That would be a good deed and would show that both Putin and Netanyahu owe favors to their American friend. And Trump would appear as the hero capable of achieving peace in Ukraine and Gaza. But ther...

                                                NETANYAHU'S FURIOUS SPEECH He could have delivered his speech in a normal tone and respectful to his audience. But no, because Benjamin Netanyahu has his own style to impress his audience: Angry face; knocks on the table and other trifles. The Israeli prime minister's speech before the US Congress was characterized by his uncontrolled rage. Some Democratic senators did not want to hear it and left the room. The Republicans, on the other hand, also demonstrated loudly, applauding again and again and standing up, while in the street thousands of pacifists demonstrated against the speaker, remembering on their banners that he is a war criminal, who maintains a genocide. in Gaza. Netanyahu loudly criticized the dialogue between civilizations, stating that it makes no sense, and that in Gaza we are in a fight “between barbari...

PALESTINE “NATIONAL UNITY”, AN OBJECTIVE SEEKED WITHOUT SUCCESS Since the first war between Israel and the Arab environment, Palestinian factions have always sought “national unity”, taking into account that they all had as their main objective to fight for the creation of an independent Palestinian state. But this unity was never consecrated because the internal divisions between these movements, between those who adopted the path of terrorist violence to combat Israel, and those who, without abandoning the armed struggle, gave priority to negotiation, were very difficult to understand. The best image of that situation was that of Yasser Arafat speaking at the United Nations and stating “I have an olive branch in one hand, and a rifle in the other. Don't let the branch disappear." Between common wills and quarrels, attempts at unity were made that did not last very long. There was a time when violence submerged moderation. Thus appeared the plane hijackings, the murder of Isr...

  BIDEN IS LEAVING. TRUMP ALREADY CONSIDERS HIMSELF A WINNER As expected, the pressure from the leaders of the Democratic party and the disillusionment of his supporters has ended up convincing the president, Joe Biden, to give up running for re-election in the presidential elections next November. It was a logical decision, given the president's neurological problems and his poor memory. His advanced age did not make it easier for him to be re-elected either. His great friend, Obama, even asked him to resign. The Republican party has demanded his immediate resignation, but Biden is determined to remain in office until the last day of his term. In any case, his rival, Donald Trump, has a path of roses to be re-elected because the vice president, Kamala Harris, is not a rival with great political weight. If Harris is named a presidential candidate, her victory is far from being announced. In the history of the United States there has never been a woman president. It is not a problem...

                                        ICJ RENEWS ITS CONDEMNATION OF ISRAEL Once again the International Court of Justice (ICJ) has stated that Israel illegally occupies the Palestinian territories and has ordered the Jewish state to cease that occupation; a decision that Israel refuses to accept, by not recognizing this international body that depends on the United Nations. The decisions of the ICJ only have moral value and effect. They cannot materialize because both Israel and the United States do not recognize this body. It is the same thing that happens with the UN general assembly with respect to the Security Council. What are those sentences worth? You are welcome; Israel acts as a pariah state outside international law and law. It calls itself a democratic state, but it maintains a genocide in Gaza and continues bombing the Palestinian enclave. There is a peace plan prepared by ...

                                IF TRUMP IS RE-ELECTED, BAD NEWS FOR THE ARAB. After the assassination attempt against the former president, Donald Trump, he has become the great national hero of the American public. He will be named the Republicans' presidential candidate in November, and there are high hopes that he will be re-elected to another four-year term. His Democratic rival, Jose Biden, assures that he has no medical difficulties to continue in the White House; but there is no doubt that he has neurological problems and his memory is deficient, as has been proven on several occasions. If Trump is re-elected, there is a country that will ring the bells and consider it a national holiday. That country is called Israel; to whom Trump, during his presidency, guaranteed all the wishes and demands that Netanyahu presented to him during his time. Trump submitted without reluctance to the demands of the Je...

                                            THE SINISTER FACE OF ISRAEL IN GAZA Once again, Israel has shown its sinister face in the Palestinian enclave, attacking a refugee camp in the Khan Yunis area, causing the death of at least 90 Palestinian civilians and 300 wounded. An attack violates humanitarian law and the laws of war. The Al-Mawasi camp has been partially destroyed, while Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu claims that the objective of the attack was to kill Mhamed Deif, one of the most important leaders of Hamas's military wing. The death of this militant has not been confirmed. Hamas considers that Israel, in reality, was not seeking to locate Deif, but rather to cause the extermination of the refugees in that camp, so that they would move again to areas in the south that, on paper, Israel claims are “safe” but that reality are also attacked. There is currently no sa...

                                    “PROGRESS IN THE PEACE TALKS IN GAZA? Has there been “progress” in the talks held in Doha to agree to a global plan that will allow for the long-awaited peace in Gaza? The Israeli press affirms that it is, but the government of Benjamin Netanyahu does not confirm it and the strikes continue on the Palestinian enclave. Mediators attend these conversations in the Qatari capital. Qatar and Egypt, and the three chiefs intelligence of the United States, Israel and Egypt. The negotiation issue concerns the peace plan presented long ago by the president of the United States, Joe Biden; a project that has undergone modifications due to pressure from Israel, while Hamas has already accepted it according to sources from the radical Palestinian group. The content of this peace plan, which consists of three phases, has been known for a long time. The first is a six-week huma...

                       N O PROGRESS IN NEGOTIATIONS ON CEASEFIRE IN GAZA Despite the efforts being made by Qatar and Egypt to get Israel to accept a ceasefire that would allow the release of the hostages held by Hamas, not the slightest progress has been made in the negotiations, both in Doha and Cairo. The head of the American CIA and the head of the Israeli Mossad have traveled to the region several times, but it has not served to obtain any results. Israel continues bombing Gaza, from the north to the border with Egypt and does not heed the least advice. Netanyahu wants to continue the war and believes that Hamas will surrender when the bombings reach an unbearable limit for the Palestinian radicals. Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan called on Tuesday for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and “a renewed commitment to dialogue and negotiation guided by the principles of justice, equality, and mutual respect.” In th...

                                               HAMAS: TERRORISTS OR FIGHTERS? Last October 7, the Al Qasam brigades, which are the military wing of Hamas, committed a highly violent attack in Israel, killing some 1,200 Jews and taking another 240 hostage. This event was a terrorist attack - There is no doubt about it. Hamas acted as a terrorist movement, an unworthy and deplorable act. There is no excuse for this inhumane action. Hamas forgot that peace will come to Gaza through negotiations and not through violent events like the one carried out in October. But who is Hamas? Prime Minister Netanyahu has vowed to physically eliminate them until not one of them remains. The European Union and the United States consider them terrorists and they are quite right. There is a country, Turkey, that describes them as “freedom fighters.” According to analysts, less than a thous...

                         ISRAEL STRIKES ANOTHER UNITED NATIONS SCHOOL While talks continue in Qatar to find at least a humanitarian pause, Israel has again strijkes a United Nations school in Gaza, killing 16 Palestinian civilians. It is the well-known tactic of the genocidaire, Netanyahu, to talk about peace and at the same time order his air force and armor to continue firing missiles; others by drones, and also the ammunition discharges from armored cars. The Al-Jawni school in Nuseirat, in the center of the Palestinian enclave, was not a military target, but Tsahal forces claim that it contained members of the Al-Qasam brigades, the military wing of Hamas. Without providing the slightest evidence, Israel justifies the attack. It is Netanyahu's political line: Do not cease the use of military force and say at the same time that you want peace and the release of the hostages. Hamas has accepted the United States peace pl...

                                                  GAZA: IS A CEASE-FIRE POSSIBLE? Once again the possibility of a ceasefire in Gaza is possible, after the Israeli government has sent a special team to Doha to deal with the problem of the release of the hostages in the hands of Hamas, within the American peace plan agreed by the Palestinian movement. While the situation on Israel's northern border continues to worsen due to the exchange of rocket fire and bombardments between Jewish forces and Hizbollah, a legal party in Lebanon, in Doha the Emir and the Qatari Prime Minister continue to make every effort to ensure that produce at least a long humanitarian pause. Qatar is the key element to breaking the deadlock in negotiations. The Israelis have sent Mossad chief David Barnea to Doha, _The Israeli army claims its ground forces from Division 98 have killed “about 1...

                                BEN GVIR RETURNS WITH A HORRIFYING STATEMENT The Israeli Minister of National Security, Hamar Ben Gvir, returned this weekend to make a new declaration of hatred for the Palestinians, in which he said that the prisoners "instead of being given food, should be eliminated by shooting them in the head” thus confirming its racist nature known to everyone. The German Nazis, during the Second World War, took groups of Jews to a ditch, shot them with their Mauser rifles and then buried them without checking to see if any of them were still alive. Ben Gvir is a Nazi with the Star of David. A monster with human appearance. Ben Gvir has been the object of protests in Israel but Prime Minister Netanyahu keeps him in office because he needs the support of the religious and far-right party “Jewish National Front.” In Israel it is well known that there is a strong coexistence between Orthod...
